His loving wife
She said she misses him dearly
And she still gets up early in the morning like to wake him up
She said life was much better when they made it up
She's got his pension check in a frame next to the bed
Kisses it every morning so she'll never forget who he was, what he did
It should matter more than this

Few things remain clear to her about him
That voice, that phone. without his calls that he's late, it doesn't feel like home
We'll build an overpass so the underclass won't cross our street
As you write zeros, the boulevard grows

And this was him
He was a company hero
He was a martyr for zeros and the bottom line
But he traded his family for the overtime.
You always say you want to have kids but your life's over when theirs begins
And all the money that you're always saving for vacations that we never take.

Take all your money and give it away to some cause that we can relate to
Sponsor a corporation and keep the markets alive

Remember your sweet hair and how you used to let it down for me?
Was that passion?
Or just the fashion?

Not one more late night dinner alone
Not one more goodnight over the phone.
There's too many empty rooms in this house.
We'll tear down the walls til everything falls down

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
